SUMMARY:Exhibition: …of the land: acts of refusal and ratification
DESCRIPTION:A three-person exhibition featuring new and recent works from Chicago-based artists Ajmal ‘Mas Man’ Millar\, Lola Ayisha Ogbara\, and R. Treshawn Williamson exploring homeplace through sculpture\, self-imaging\, & materialism.  \n\n\n…of the land: acts of refusal and ratification features new and recent works from Chicago-based artists Ajmal ‘Mas Man’ Millar\, Lola Ayisha Ogbara\, and R. Treshawn Williamson exploring sculpture\, self-imaging and history through postcolonial lenses\, collective & individual recollection and peculiar materialism. Their use of storytelling holds significance for spatiality and locality to become common ground through the fielding of land\, labor and industry. \nAjmal ‘Mas Man’ Millar expands the sculptural form welding metal\, Trinidadian carnival culture and identity politics alongside the African diaspora. Lola Ayisha Ogbara merges West African and African American interior design aesthetics with bodily sculptural ceramic forms\, with performative photography – that rest and refuse a Western gaze. \nR. Treshawn Williamson creates historical context for his own familial roots in the mining of charcoal material for large scale screen-printed tapestries in a careful consideration of laborious processes as praxis. Millar\, Ogbara and Williamson engage in practices that consider topographic timelines and performance as an essential tool making for an interesting dialogue about homeplace. \n_______________ \n\n\nAjmal ‘MAS MAN’ Millar is a self-taught contemporary visual artist and mas man (carnival costume designer). His work includes mixed–media sculpture that combine collage\, painting\, repurposed materials\, scrap metal\, performance\, and photography interrogating notions of cultural heritage\, sexual and gender identity\, and ritual practices as a first-generation African American black queer man born to Trinidadian immigrants. Ajmal earned an undergraduate degree from Morehouse College in 2008 and earned an MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2021. \n“I am working on a collection of works engaging the Yoruba cosmological concept of Chi and its existence in everything\, alive or inorganic. I create amalgamations of found objects and scraps of steel combined with encaustic. Inspired from my carnival technique of ‘wire bending’\, Afrofuturism\, and Afro Surrealism\, I have an opportunity to express my emotions and thoughts as experienced in the various environments I collect from and exist in. My welding is drawing in space to depict the transcendent properties in masquerade. My goal is to contextualize a queer blackness rarely experienced through imagination\, invention\, and the investigation of dreams\, magic\, and ritual.” \nHe currently lives and works in Chicago\, IL. \n\n\n\n\nLola Ayisha Ogbara (cultural worker & artist) born and raised in Chicago\, Illinois holds many talents under her belt\, i.e. sculpture\, sound\, design\, photography and installation art. \n“My practice explores the multifaceted implications and ramifications of being in regards to the Black experience. I work with clay as a material in order to emphasize a necessary fragility which symbolizes an essential contradiction implicit in empowerments.” \nOgbara holds a Bachelor of Arts in Arts Entertainment & Media Management from Columbia College Chicago in 2013 and a MFA in Visual Arts from Washington University Sam Fox School of Art & Design. \nIn 2017\, Ogbara co-founded Artists in the Room\, a collective of artists and scholars who host artists\, emerging and established\, in hopes of serving as a catalyst for artist development and networking. Ogbara has also received numerous fellowships and awards\, including the Multicultural Fellowship sponsored by the NCECA 52nd Annual Conference\, the Arts + Public Life and Center for the Study of Race\, Politics & Culture Residency at the University of Chicago\, and the Coney Family Fund Award hosted by the Chicago Artists Coalition. Ogbara has exhibited in art spaces across the country and is currently based in Chicago\, IL. \n\n\n\n\nR. Treshawn Williamson is a Chicago based essayist and multidisciplinary artist of Black American descent\, from Prince George’s County\, MD\, by way of Livingston\, Alabama\, and Augusta\, Georgia. \nWilliamson’s work is a meditation on the obstruction and surveillance of the lived histories of African-Americans. He investigates the application of cultural re-imagination in the African Diaspora through the engagement of oral histories\, post-colonial theory\, folklore\, and ethnomusicology. In 2020 Williamson earned his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. \nHe currently lives and works in Chicago\, IL.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: “Unbearable Memories\, Unspeakable Histories”: Partition Anti-Memorial Project
DESCRIPTION:Through experiential art installations “Unbearable Memories\, Unspeakable Histories” investigates the Partition of India in 1947. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis year marks 75 years since the Partition of India in 1947\, which created Pakistan\, and eventually\, Bangladesh in 1971. Pritika Chowdhry’s experiential art installations are temporary ‘anti-memorials’ to the Partition. \nOften described as the Holocaust of South Asia\, the Partition triggered the largest migration in human history with over 20 million people displaced\, approximately 2 million killed and over 300\,000 women were abducted in the communal violence that ensued. \nThe exhibition addresses the many facets of the Partition from a counter-memory perspective through experiential art installations. The title alludes to the painful and silenced narratives that have been elided from mainstream discourses of the Partition. \nWhen a memory is unbearable\, how does one memorialize it? And when a history is unspeakable\, how does one talk about it? The exhibition’s title\, “Unbearable Memories\, Unspeakable Histories” alludes to the painful and silenced narratives that have been excluded from mainstream discourses of the Partition. \n\n_______________ \nARTIST LED TOURS AT 1PM EVERY OTHER SATURDAY! \nSep 3 and 17 | Oct 01\, 15 and 29 | Nov 12 | Dec 10

SUMMARY:A Show of Hands: Handwriting in the Age of Print
DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, handwriting served as a powerful tool for communicating information\, preserving knowledge\, shaping identity\, and building empires. In our digital world\, however\, fewer and fewer people can read handwritten words. \nHandwriting has survived disruptive technologies before. The invention of printing did not diminish the need for handwriting. Instead\, it created new markets for ambitious printers and entrepreneurial writing teachers. These men and women used advances in print technologies to widen the influence of handwriting in everyday life. \nA Show of Hands focuses on people\, cultures\, and technology to illustrate how handwriting has been taught\, reproduced\, and reimagined over the past five hundred years. Displaying a range of books and manuscripts from the Newberry’s collection\, the exhibition makes the role of handwriting in the age of print newly legible. \nA Show of Hands is generously supported by the Richard C. von Hess Foundation\, the Fitzgerald Family Foundation\, and Diane and Richard Weinberg.

SUMMARY:Swedish Folk Art Family Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join art professor Alison Aune in a Swedish folk art Family workshop. Alison will lead participants in creating Fantastical Kurbits. Alison will give a brief gallery tour to share the background of Dalmålning\, also known as kurbits painting or Dala painting\, which flourished in Sweden in the 18th and 19th centuries. The kurbit was a fantastical gourd plant commonly used in folk paintings in Dalarna Sweden\, as a symbol of good luck. After the gallery tour\, participants will create their own creative kurbit interpretations as we revive the tradition using a contemporary color palette. \nFee: $20 members\, $25 everyone else. All participants will create and take home their own kurbits folk art painting\, as well as a coloring book made specifically for this workshop. We will be using acrylic paints\, so this workshop is not suitable for preschool-age children.
